Critics Week names 2016 programme

Following the announcement of the Official and Un Certain Regard line-ups, the Critics Week selection also looks mostly to Europe, with Asia a close second. In this year’s Critics Week competition line-up, only one film without a European partner is named, Asaph Polonsky’s Israeli title One Week and a Day.

There’s little space left beyond the European and Asian selections. In the competition line-ups only two shorts are from further afield: Brazilian Fellipe Fernandes’ Delusion Is Redemption To Those In Distress and Canadian François Jaros’ Oh What A Wonderful Feeling.

As with Cannes’ official selections, there are no Australasian titles named in or out of competition,
